The first words I spoke to my baby were ‘We did it!”
I wanted to say a BIG thank you! I had the most incredibly positive birth. I did my Hypnobirthing Australia™ course at 26 weeks with the lovely Kathryn Bell from Kathryn Bell Birth Support in Sydney. I used the tracks daily and can’t thank you enough for how much they prepared me and my partner […]
My amazing midwife even said “Beautiful! Now that is how you birth!”
I had my first little hypnobub (third baby)!! My entire birth was amazing and the first time I went into spontaneous labour too! During labour, I used the breathing techniques, flopping/staying relaxed during surges and kept my positive affirmations going to keep focused. I had a little gas during transition but that was it. Bub was born in the […]
I want to express to you how much of a difference the Hypnobubs™ Online Course made to my birth!
Lucy is now 3 days old and healthy and we managed to have the positive, natural birth that we planned for! It was amazing! After the Thursday morning assessment in which a new obstetrician was, unfortunately, pressuring me into a caesarean again (because of the high head and extra fluid and his past bad experiences […]

Although I had to be induced we totally ROCKED IT!
After participating in Debra from Empowered to Birth in Bendigo Hypnobirthing Australia course we felt confident and excited about the upcoming birth. Although I had to be induced at 38+5, due to Gestational Hypertension, I managed without pain relief other than hypnobirthing. Staying in my Labour bubble with affirmations, swaying and breathing Baby Leo was […]
“Hypnobirthing has given us an extremely valuable gift”
I’d like to share that my little hypnobub, Lucia arrived yesterday afternoon after an active labour of 2.5 hours. These hours were spent in the birthing suite bathtub, correctly breathing and visualising. I managed to keep calm and confident and trust that my body knew what do to. My husband’s support and coaching were integral […]
“These techniques really work ladies!!” – Hypnomum Amanda

Childbirth doesn’t always have to turn into a horror story!
Childbirth is one of the most consistently negative stories you hear as a pregnant woman. This is why I wanted to share our experience – because it’s not always a horror story. Throughout my pregnancy, I was very lucky. A couple of months of Morning (all day) Sickness but no other complications. But I would […]
I was so grateful my hypnobirthing came back to me when I needed it!
My 1st pregnancy, 9-pound baby, 40-hour labour, vacume, 60 stitches, second degree tears. 2nd pregnancy, 36 week scan, current estimated weight- 7 pounds, estimated birth weight at full term- over 9 pounds, current head circumference <99%, GP reccomendation- large for gestational age, induce at 38 weeks. The facts and figures were piling up and I […]
I strongly believe I could not have birthed my daughter naturally without the use of hypnobirthing!
My pre-labour started after my 38 weeks appointment at the obs and was told I was 2cm dilated. I was experiencing mild surges that night and I was getting excited as it was finally happening. 2 days later, the surges were on and off and I was still in pre-labour stage. Soon I experienced a […]
I didn’t realise the absolute importance of choosing a caregiver who was supportive of our wishes.
Hi Melissa, Just wanted to pass on a quick thank you – we completed the Hypnobirthing Course in Adelaide with Hannah Willsmore and absolutely loved it. While our birth didn’t go quite as we would have liked (I think we perhaps didn’t realise the absolute importance of choosing a caregiver who was supportive of our […]

I was able to achieve the natural birth I dreamed of!
I was able to achieve the natural birth I dreamed of with the support of a Hypnobirthing Australia course I attended that was run by Lisa Simpson. Baby Arlo arrived into the world on the 4th of April, 10 days after his “guess date”. Lisa was such an amazing support leading up to the birth, […]
Taking a class helped us prepare and make the right decisions for our birth on the day!
We really feel that we made the right decision with the calm birthing experience and feel that it shows in Oskar. I was in labour for 44 hours and the waves actually started at midnight on Wednesday 31st Jan, the night of the blood moon as you might remember. I think it triggers labour to […]
I have now had two very easy, quick and pain free labours!
As soon as we found out we were expecting baby #2, we knew that our hypnobirthing materials would be getting a second airing! Ever since the birth of our daughter in September 2015, we’ve wondered whether things would go a similar way again with another speedy delivery (she was born on our bathroom floor after […]

Everything happened as it should and I am proud of my birth!
After reading another Hypnobirthing mummas amazing story I was inspired to write my own birth story. She expressed how proud she felt even though it was not the birth she had pictured. This really resonated with me. Our perfect bundle Jesse arrived at 1.03pm on the 23 Feb. I was 41 wks and with the […]
